    59.9(51.4) Article XXIX.- MAMMALS FROM SHEN-SI PROVINCE, CHINA. By J. A. ALLEN. A small collection of mammals from Mount Tai-pai, Shen-si Province, China, recently acquired by the Museum through Mr. Alan Owston of Yokohama, contains several species of interest. It comprises 55 specimens, representing 16 species, some of which appear to be undescribed. The material is rather poorly prepared, the skulls having been left in the skins, and when removed were found to be more or less mutilated, some of them lacking the whole of the postorbital portion. The collection is of interest as coming from a hitherto unexplored locality, the Tai-pa-shiang mountains, on the western border of Shen-si, which are said to reach an altitude of about 11,000 feet. The specimens are mostly labeled simply "Tai-pa- shiang," with the sex of the specimen and date of collection, but a few are labeled as from "Yumonko, foot of Tai-pa-shiang," and others are marked "Si-Tai-pa-shiang." In no case is the altitude indicated. 1. Budorcas taxicolor tibetanus Milne-Edwards.- A horn of an adult and skins and skulls of two very young animals, Tai-pa-shiang, August 16 and October 25. The two specimens are respectively male and female, and differ much in color, the male having the body, except the ventral surface and the dorsal stripe, pale yellowish, the dorsal stripe, the ventral surface and limbs dark dull reddish brown; top of nose and edge of ears blackish. The other has the body nearly white, with the underparts and limbs dark brown; the dorsal stripe is dark brown only over the shoulders, and black mixed with white on the top of the neck and posterior two-thirds of the dorsal line; black hairs are also appearing on the limbs.

    DRAFT VERSION OCTOBER 6, 2017 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX61 MULTI-MESSENGER OBSERVATIONS OF A BINARY NEUTRON STAR MERGER LIGO SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION,VIRGO COLLABORATION AND PARTNER ASTRONOMY GROUPS (Dated: October 6, 2017) ABSTRACT On August 17, 2017 a binary neutron star coalescence candidate (later designated GW170817) with merger time 12:41:04 UTC was observed through gravitational waves by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor independently detected a gamma-ray burst (GRB170817A) with a time-delay of 1.7swith respect to the merger ⇠ time. From the gravitational-wave signal, the source was initially localized to a sky region of 31 deg2 at a luminosity distance +8 of 40 8 Mpc and with component masses consistent with neutron stars. The component masses were later measured to be in the range− 0.86 to 2.26 M . An extensive observing campaign was launched across the electromagnetic spectrum leading to the discovery of a bright optical transient (SSS17a, now with the IAU identification of AT2017gfo) in NGC 4993 (at 40 Mpc) less ⇠ than 11 hours after the merger by the One-Meter, Two Hemisphere (1M2H) team using the 1-m Swope Telescope. The optical transient was independently detected by multiple teams within an hour. Subsequent observations targeted the object and its environment. Early ultraviolet observations revealed a blue transient that faded within 48 hours. Optical and infrared observations showed a redward evolution over 10 days. Following early non-detections, X-ray and radio emission were discovered at the ⇠ transient’s position 9 and 16 days, respectively, after the merger.

    Haemogregarines and Criteria for Identification

    animals Review Haemogregarines and Criteria for Identification Saleh Al-Quraishy 1, Fathy Abdel-Ghaffar 2 , Mohamed A. Dkhil 1,3 and Rewaida Abdel-Gaber 1,2,* 1 Department of Zoology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia; [email protected] (S.A.-Q.); [email protected] (M.A.D.) 2 Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Cairo 12613, Egypt; [email protected] 3 Department of Zoology and Entomology, Faculty of Science, Helwan University, Cairo 11795, Egypt * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Taxonomic classification of haemogregarines belonging to Apicomplexa can become difficult when the information about the life cycle stages is not available. Using a self- reporting, we record different haemogregarine species infecting various animal categories and exploring the most systematic features for each life cycle stage. The keystone in the classification of any species of haemogregarines is related to the sporogonic cycle more than other stages of schizogony and gamogony. Molecular approaches are excellent tools that enabled the identification of apicomplexan parasites by clarifying their evolutionary relationships. Abstract: Apicomplexa is a phylum that includes all parasitic protozoa sharing unique ultrastructural features. Haemogregarines are sophisticated apicomplexan blood parasites with an obligatory heteroxenous life cycle and haplohomophasic alternation of generations. Haemogregarines are common blood parasites of fish, amphibians, lizards, snakes, turtles, tortoises, crocodilians, birds, and mammals. Haemogregarine ultrastructure has been so far examined only for stages from the vertebrate host. PCR-based assays and the sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene are helpful methods to further characterize this parasite group. The proper classification for the haemogregarine complex is available with the criteria of generic and unique diagnosis of these parasites.
